The aim of this paper is to look at what a parallel deflationist program might be in the theory of knowledge and examine its prospect. In what follows I will simplify matters slightly by focussing on empirical knowledge rather than knowledge in general, though most of what I have to
say ought to be applicable, mutatis mutandis, to knowledge in general. Moreover,note that it is not my aim to offer a full defense of a particular
deflationist theory of knowledge, which would go well beyond the scope of
this paper, but only to defend the utility of taking the deflationist program as regards the theory of knowledge seriously by showing that there
is a plausible deflationist position available that is worthy of further scrutiny.
